Methodology

For this project there was a rather short process. We picked this research topic by Trevor (our 10th grade English teacher) giving us a paper to name our top three choices  of what topic we wanted to do our project on. He had told us whatever our first choice was, was what we wanted to work on the most. He then told us that there was not going to be a promise for us to be able to work on. The next day he showed us our groups and what topics we were going to work on. We agreed on choosing our research tool as being interviews. We interviewed seven people, each interview was only a few questions making them less than ten minutes long.

During the interview process we really did not hear anything from the interviews that stood out to our ears. As we asked the questions we planned to ask, they told us things we think of as regular, things we would say. None of the people we interviewed said the same as another but the meanings were all around the same.

Choosing our research question and research tool was an easy thing to do for us. We decided on our research question by thinking hard on what we thought would be a little challenging for them to answer. When some of the questions did not fit right to our English teacher, Trevor, he would give us ideas of what we should change. We picked the research tool by thinking of making a video of the interviews, but none of our group members knew how to make and edit a video. Instead we chose to make the blog you now see.
